Hello everyone,

Welcome back to our Box Office Weekend report here at ECMG.

Universal's highly anticipated animated spin-off Minions took the top spot at the box office this weekend. The film brought in a huge $115.2 million scoring the second largest opening weekend for an animated film ever behind only Shrek the Third's $121.6 million back in 2007.

Coming in second place this week was Universal's other little movie called Jurassic World, maybe you've heard of it? The film took in another $18.1 million this weekend taking its massive total domestic box office to a ridiculous $590.7 million in just 31 days of release. The film is now only $9.34 million away from being only the fourth film in history to make over $600 million domestically!

Disney Pixar's Inside Out fell to third place this weekend bringing in another $17.1 million. The film has now made a very impressive $283.6 million domestically after just 24 days at the box office. In fourth place this weekend was Paramount's highly disappointing Terminator sequel/reboot Terminator Genisys bringing in only $13.7 million in its second weekend of release! The film has now grossed only $68.72 million after 12 days of release. The film will be lucky to reach the $100 million milestone, due to such heavy competition over the next few weeks.

Finally rounding out the top five is The Gallows bringing in just $10 million in its opening weekend. As usual for a Blumhouse Production $10 million is not bad for such a low budget production. Blumhouse Productions usually produces their horror flicks with a budget of less than 10 million. Which means the film has already made back its cost and the studio is sitting pretty good right now.
